For this assignment, we have to do in depth research about 2 international or local spaces that have already adapted to Covid-19 , then using some of its concept to reinvent one of our spaces in Taylors campus.

Progress
Delegating task
Usually for group assignments, we first delegate our tasks and split into small groups. I was grouped with Nathaniel (duck) and Jia Yang to do in depth research about case study A ( Julian B Riverfront Park ) We had multiple meetings together and did the research together. At first, we had researched about another location before Julian B Riverfront Park. Then, we realised that we didn't have enough information to justify. It was initially nerve-racking for all of us because we had to show our work during tutorial the next day. Luckily, we had good cooperation from one another, everything was sorted out within an hour.
Progress
We did our works in separate ways. Of course, we also helped each other out when we encountered problems. All of us work till late night together and it was really fun! It is true that we need friends during this process and I am glad that I have contacted them on the first day of orientation day. They are truly amazing and lovable people. Although there are times where we had some disagreements, we will always come out with a solution and sort it out.
Rest time
After work or in between our work, we usually have breaks. Sometimes, we do loads of weird stuff together, like having a virtual disco party in the midst of our assignment. We had loads of fun, we blasted so many OLD songs like ( Staying Alive, Eye of the Tiger... etc ) and started playing with the elements provided in Canva. It was totally a blast!
Reflection
This is a group project, obviously it requires discussion and interactions with my team members. I learnt to be open minded about opinions, seeking for help as well as helping others whenever they faced any problems. A great team constitutes good cooperation, leading to good communication within one another.
As this is a group work, each of us have our responsibilities for our delegated tasks. In order for us to work efficiently, we split our task and complete it before our due dates given by the leader. Our work was delegated evenly among ourselves, therefore the work is done in time. I have also learnt so many things from each of the members. My team members have great leadership skills and they handle their responsibilities well. Through this assignment, I can learn to be a better leader in the future.
Being in a group project not only emphasize on the group work, we also have to manage ourselves in order for the team to move forward. In this case, I learn to manage my time well even from my hectic schedule for work. I learn to not delay our group's progress by managing my time properly and finishing my work fast and efficiently. This a great team who can understand each other, we learn to compromise each other as each of us have our own strengths and weaknesses.
